yeah i had a deep and abiding hatred, had read multiple interviews where don henley gloated over the eagles having been more successful than the new york dolls so fuck the critics where are the new york dolls now huh, i knew these fuckers, and the doc was still revelatory. the first half of it is pretty great, i didn't finish the second half, just perfunctory rehab and reunion stuff. man between that doc's growing cult, their profile (and classic rock's profile in general) shrinking enough that they don't suffer from present overexposure, and stuff like blue jean committee i do wonder if somehow the eagles could be reclaimed. may god have mercy on our souls.

I have the first six Eagles albums on my iPod and tried shuffling them yesterday and was struck anew by the Grand Canyon-sized gulf in quality between anything they released as a single and anything they didn't. I mean, there's literally not one track on their albums where you can say, "Why wasn't this a single? It would have been a huge hit!" Everything that was a hit deserved to be a hit, but everything else was like having your face shoved into a mountain of rotting garbage.

Our knowledge was dearly won, Phil.
Oh really? Didn't know that "Chug All Night" had been released as a single. I'll have to look up its chart position and airplay when I get a moment.

Also, In The Wild, A FB Status from Huey Lewis that a friend of mine "Liked"
Glenn Frey of The Eagles and I were playing golf at Pebble Beach one time. Scott Ostler, the great sports reporter in San Francisco, said to us, “Well, between you guys, you must have written hundreds of songs,” thinking we had a bunch of songs we never released.Glenn, who has had a lot of hit songs, said, “No, I have used everything I ever wrote.”Writing a great song is not easy. If you write 10 good songs in your life, you are a hall of famer. - Huey
Well, yeah.

DAVID: As an artist, I wanted to turn my death not into a celebration of my life and career, but into a celebration of the lives of everyone. We are all lost souls floating in a tin can, and yet, it's by joining together that we make this mysterious journey into something with meaning.
GLENN: I know I've joined together with a few lost souls in my day, if you get my drift.
DAVID: I'm sorry, what was your name again?

I've mentioned this before, but in all seriousness I thought he had the best 'Country' voice in the band...it's just when the "Rock" part of the equation came to play the problems started.

Didn't we realize when we started this thing that when Frey lead the band with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner this country rock synthesis was possiblee?

One Of These Nights really is one of the greatest songs ever recorded, it's just perfect from every angle. even the haytaz upthread are pretty much in raptures over it. i wish they'd done more like that one.

Glenn Frey was at least partially responsible for this, so that's not a bad thing (and I fully realize I've posted this clip maybe seven times in this thread, but it's the one justification for the Eagles' existence):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r0QteIu_uA

They posed for a photo by the amps, arms around each other, and we exchanged phone numbers. I stayed in touch with them. (Little did I know, that fuzzy group shot would be one of the only known photos of all four original members hugging each other. Looking at it today, it has the same slightly surreal quality of one of those photos of the Loch Ness Monster.)

To gain the perfect drum sound, Bell often instructed the drummer to put a wallet on the snare drum. Wallet on the Snare was one of the working titles for the album.
